[After taking revenge, you lost your goals, and your life had no purpose, so you agreed to contribute the power of Nine Tails.]
Naruto watched the simulation unfold, feeling like it was slipping out of his control.
After the character's strength increased, it seemed that his options had become more limited.
[You follow the mysterious masked man back to the Akatsuki base but are warned that you will die if you lose the Tailed Beast.]
[Although you are living without a goal, you don't want to die, so you begin to resist.]
[You vs. All Akatsuki Members]
[You kill all members of the Akatsuki and severely injure the mysterious masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara, but eventually, you die under the mysterious masked man's Kamui.]
[You are dead…]
[Simulation ends.]
[Simulation evaluation: A life dominated by hatred, living only to become stronger and seek revenge. Your achievements are the pinnacle of ninjas in the world, but what follows after revenge is indescribable emptiness.]
[System rating: 8]
[Reward: Level 8 Physical Enhancement]
[Bonus selection card: Uzumaki]
Inside the room, Naruto sat on the bed, feeling his body surge with new power.
It was the first time he had received such a high rating. Naruto hadn't expected the improvement to be this dramatic.

The original combat strength of over 10,000 had soared to 20,000.
With Kurama's addition, he could unleash super Kage-level combat power—slightly inferior to the legendary Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
Naruto considered which abilities he wanted to claim from the reward cards.
This simulated character was extremely powerful—the strongest Naruto had ever simulated.
He had acquired numerous ninjutsu and unique abilities.
Naruto summarized the rewards into three categories:
A huge amount of ninjutsu.
One Kurama with a Yang attribute.
Other abilities.
After thinking it over, Naruto decided that choosing half of Kurama's power would be less beneficial than acquiring a massive amount of ninjutsu. This would improve his own strength rather than Kurama's.
"System, choose the ninjutsu," he said.
[Ding~ Reward selection successful.]
After the selection, many memories flooded into Naruto's mind:
Lightning Style Armor, Ultra Light Rock Technique, Great Spiral Rinyu, and the standard Rasengan.
Of course, ninjutsu didn't stop there. Only a few were high-level, but Naruto felt a twinge of regret. Immortal arts, secret techniques, and abilities from the Cult of Evil God were not classified as ninjutsu.
Still, Naruto's primary goal had been achieved.
After receiving the ninjutsu memories, Naruto checked his attributes again.

Mission: Chūnin Exam]
"Hiss~"
Naruto exhaled deeply. He hadn't expected such a massive boost.
Previously, Naruto had combat experience but limited ninjutsu. Now, he had an enormous arsenal.
In other words, his previous combat power relied on experience × sealing techniques. Now it was experience × sealing techniques × ninjutsu.
Coupled with Level 8 physical enhancement and bloodline power, his combat strength neared 70,000.
According to the system's data, Naruto had become a formidable shadow.
Although he was still slightly weaker than Madara and Hashirama in their prime, with Kurama's power, Naruto could now contend with them.
Naruto glanced at the remaining four simulations with both anticipation and caution.
With any luck, he could complete them quickly, avoiding Akatsuki threats and freeing himself from Konoha's restrictions.
He began the next simulation. Unfortunately, his luck was diminished this time.
The simulated character, despite being over thirty years old, remained only a Chūnin. Luckily, he excelled at intelligence gathering, so Naruto focused on that skill and obtained a Level 3 physical enhancement as well.
Although unlucky, Naruto's confidence remained intact. He started the third simulation of the day.
At first, the simulated character was a member of the Uzumaki clan. But the remaining attributes were disappointing.
This character was captured as a Jinchūriki and lived a life of frustration.
Finally, Naruto received a Level 4 physical enhancement and a Furious Complete Nine Tails card, boosting his combat power beyond 77,000.
As for the Furious Nine Tails in the card? Naruto planned to feed it to his own Kurama at the right time.
Naruto then paused the simulations. Only two opportunities remained. He decided to approach them deliberately, taking time to rest, meditate, and prepare—sometimes metaphysics requires faith.
…
The second Chūnin Exam began soon.
Outside the Forest of Death, teams of candidates gathered one by one.
Naruto noticed a very strange figure among them—Orochimaru.
Under Mitarashi Anko's supervision, everyone felt uneasy, and Naruto noticed many eyes were fixed on him.
"Is that him?" someone whispered.
"It seems so—a candidate who could serve as an instructor immediately after graduation and defeat elite Jōnin."
"Better avoid him for now, or you'll have bad luck."
Haruno Sakura felt scared at first, but seeing everyone avoid Naruto deliberately made her feel calmer.
Soon, the exam began.
Each team received their scrolls and entered the Forest of Death one by one.
Shortly after entering, Naruto and his teammates encountered a straw-hat-wearing candidate.
"Do you dare to try and take the scroll alone?"
Sasuke said coldly and arrogantly, "Naruto, you don't need to act. Just give it to me!"
Naruto glanced at Orochimaru, disguised as a Genin, and asked Sasuke uncertainly, "Are you sure, pillar?"
Sasuke smiled confidently, "Of course! If I can't defeat a single Genin, I'm not qualified for these missions, nor to receive your guidance!"
"Um…" Naruto scratched his head. "Zhuzi, you should know there are powerful people outside…"
Sasuke waved his hand, "No need to say more, Naruto. I've made up my mind!"
"I might even say…"
"Wait a minute. I can't beat this guy alone. No matter how much I cry for help, don't come to save me!"
Naruto: "..."
